with this heavy pushback of gm and chrysler do you think that the romney campaign anticipated this at all and why continue to defend the ad and not pull it down? >> i have no idea whether they anticipated to get this kind of pushback. but as we wrote and you just mentioned, the body language to have to resort to this sort of ad looks to be a game changer. if you are up in the tracking you don't run an ad like that. trying to really change the conversation. trying to muddy the waters. that's something you typically do when you're behind. the romney campaign insists to me we feel like we're in a very good position in ohio. we're within striking distance but the polls show president obama with a five-point lead. some had it smaller. >> quickly, they say the economy is improving and according to the polls most give president obama a credit for. >> we're actually seeing that people voting for president obama supporting him in polls optimistic and bullish on the state of the economy. if you're a romney voter or you're leaning towards romney in the polls probably have the opposite view. that
